If it's November First, then ......

.....it must be time for the November quilt applique' and stitchery pictures.  For those of you who have followed me for a while then you know I post these each month.  Since I can't remember which month last year this theme began it might soon be time for me to drop this idea and give you guys a break. 

Of all the quilt applique' pieces I've made for the 12 month year this one is my very favorite.  It is this one I want to hook and cannot believe that I've not done so in the 16 years I've lived here.  Dang, I used a different setting on my camera for some reason so it doesn't have the clarity of the stitching for the eyes, etc.  Oh well, you get the idea.  Yet it IS a primitive and tea stained piece so no biggie.
This is the stitchery I did and both of these were projects intended to be completely finished in an individual quilt ~ one for the applique months and one for the angel stitchery months but never got that far. 
After completing the fun part of the applique quilt and stitchery pieces, is when I then became interested in traditional rug hooking.  My intentions then were to finish each piece properly and with a backing and use it on the sofa table for the appropriate month instead of a quilt.  But alas, it was over for quilting and I just enjoy my humble endeavor each month on the sofa table just as it is.

Have a great evening everyone and enjoy this warm weather on November 1st as it will change soon.

Woolley Hugs.
